All They Want

Friday, December 20, 2013

As the holiday approaches we are all thinking how different daily life is for our children who wait in a country on the other side of the world. Our waiting children are in cold orphanages. They will not wake for a holiday and get a special breakfast. They won't be held by Moms and Dads. They will be alone without family. Their day will be roughly the same as every other day. The same bowl of congee, same snacks, baths, same toys. Nothing different.

Here we celebrate and a new year will begin. We hope it will not be more of the same for these beautiful waiting children. Every one is so special, amazing and unique. They deserve to be celebrated, cherished and loved. We want the New Year to bring Hope for each and every waiting child that they too can have a forever family. Doesn't it make you want to run there and scoop them up so they could be Home for the holidays?
